I ordered two of the new bachmann 4-4-0 with sound at the beginning of the year. I was keen to have a reasonably accurate model of the Union Pacific's 119 but felt the wine colour of the model was too brown for my taste. I ordered a 119 model and I've now completed a new paint and decaling job and I'm quite happy with the results.
A big thanks to John Ott for making his decals available on his website, http://www.ottgallery.com I modified his decals to fit my bachmann model. John based his decals on the colour scheme researched by Jim Wilke and Jon Davis, which you can find at http://discussion.cprr.net/2008/02/jupiter-119-paint-colors.html
I followed the rendering by Jon Davis to come up with the overall paint scheme.
Excellent work Luke! A far cry from how it looks out of the box.
